Administration: Replace contracted verb forms for better consistency.

This changeset replaces contracted verb forms like `doesn't`, `can't`, or `isn't` with non-contracted forms like `does not`, `cannot`, or `is not`, for better consistency across the WordPress administration. It also updates some corresponding unit tests strings.

Props Presskopp, socalchristina, aandrewdixon, francina, SergeyBiryukov, JeffPaul, audrasjb, hellofromTonya.
Fixes #38913.
See #39176.
